GASP!!!
I was stunned to see the usual deranged hating on the data center (specifically Abbott) and you applauding.
Then I saw your post above and it makes sense. Make them furnish their own power and water but I have doubts.
I still remember when the pipe burst n our home when ERCOT failed and we went 72 hours without heat.
How can ERCOT handle the new loads?
The fix for ERCOT is as simple as passing three bills:
1. Engineers run ERCOT, not political appointees;
2. ERCOT controls approval of all new non-residential facilities over 2500 square feet, with approval on LEED certification; no exceptions
3. Texas Legislature passes law requiring new data centers to get written approval before construction from all residents in existing homes within 2 miles of the proposed construction site.
Solid list!
You got my vote!
Number 3 means no data centers anywhere
